months ago, i stuck around because chuck had asked me to as a personal favor to him.

That's just even more hilarious. You bumblefucks have totally made my Monday rule.

i read your above quote, and took your advice. nobody has said anything negative about you or bullshido on tripp's forum.

Actually, there was a post or two, but you guys deleted them. And then there were (are?) Tripp's own posts which are much more hostile than what I contributed over there (admittedly for my own amusement).

No, no hostility at all; except the fact that I have my own subforum over there to which you've moved all of my threads and posts, even the ones where I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't power TRIPPing nazi assholes, locking down all my threads after Tripp got in the last word.

oh well, i thought i might be able to participate in both forums, but i guess not.

We're coming to the same conclusion; you and a few others seem to be lacking in the degree of fortitude this one requires.

peace out, and if you want to keep up with me, you know where to find me.

They're deleting your other posts over there lickety-split... as fast as a red wave, or some kind of protection squadron. Otherwise I would have quoted where you made the exact same post in response to something I said.

Also, you have 18 posts here. Mark Tripp may have some (not really) justification in throwing a (three or four) temper tantrum(s) and making an "I'm quitting this place forever" post, but you sure as **** don't.

Jesus I need to keep up with current events a bit more, unless this turns out to be a "it was a setup all along, hahaha". Seriously a TL;DR version of events?

Not much to understand. Over the duration of the time Tripp has been posting here, he's posted several times that he was quitting because he wasn't being treated like he felt he deserved.

Combine that with other people being all sandy-snatchy over the senior staff not kow-towing to how they thought the site should be run, and several other conflicting agendas, and you've got a handful of people who took their toys and made their own clubhouse in the woods where the meanies couldn't bother them.

It's basically exactly like Phil Elmore, Ronin69, JFS, Rudy Abel, and a few others that I stopped even paying attention to after that point because, really?

The only reason I took notice of this was, honestly, because I thought better of the people who hopped bare-assed onto this particular bandwagon made out of Mark Tripp's scrotum. And I don't like to be wrong in my assessment of people's character.

Also, I get bored easily and this was an excuse to have fun at someone's expense.

I don't really think it's that much of an issue; it's not that many of them had broken ties with the community here - which I would find very sad.

White KIMBO goes away, and we get White RABBIT instead? - NOT AT ALL a fair trade.

Maybe there will even come something of worth out of it; I have yet to see a board that beats our technique boards here in quality. (HIS NAME IS AESOPIAN!!!)

The real scary thing is that this might be the first time in the recorded history of BS that IIF is expressing joy and amusment about something.
Which is a certain sign the we are nearing the age of the wolf, brothers.
